Dwane confessed that he didn’t know what was happening other than suffering from “a brutal headache.”

“It’s a bit of a weird one. I think it happened during a gig. We didn’t know what it was for about ten days so we just cracked on, did a bunch more shows.” Dwane said. “Eventually they put me in a scanner and found it and operated the next day. We had to reschedule a few gigs. But apart from that, all is well.”

“There was part of you that thought you could do it,” Mumford explained. “We had to talk him off the cliff.”

Dwane’s recovery was fast, and Mumford & Sons went on to play Glastonbury Festival and then headline this weekend’s Lollapalooza, a festival they say feels like home.

“The people here have made us feel so at home. Playing Glastonbury was obviously our home turf, but it almost feels just as much at home here and that’s not just a cheesy thing we say to win people over, it’s just how it feels,” Mumford told WXRT. “I don’t think we’ve done anything particularly special to be treated like that, the people just really embraced us and welcomed us to this place.”

With Dwane now fully recovered, the band continues to tour and release new music. Watch their latest music video, “Hopeless Wanderer,” below.
